Basement membranes in the kidney are made up of a homogeneous matrix. In argyria, silver passes from the blood in the ionic form and diffuses into the kidney basement membranes in which it is precipitated. X-ray diffraction studies of "silver-stained" rat kidneys show that most of the silver in the kidneys is combined with some form of sulfur. Histochemical staining for sulfhydryls and disulfides demonstrates the presence of these groups in basement membranes. It appears that silver ions combine with either or both the sulfhydryl or disulfide groups in the basement membranes and also in mitochondria (when the silver diffuses into a cell).

Polyaniline membranes of aniline were produced using an electrochemical method in a cell consisting of two poles. The effect of the vaccination was observed on the color of membranes of polyaniline, where analysis as of blue to olive green paints. The sanction of PANI was done by FT-IR and Raman techniques. The crystallinity of the models was studied by X-ray diffraction technique. The different electronic transitions of the PANI were determined by UV-VIS spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity of the manufactured samples was measured by using the four-probe technique at room temperature. Morphological studies have been determined by Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The structural studies have been measured by (SEM).

In this work, we present the effect of preparation temperature of electrolytes for fabricating undoped and silver (Ag) doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes by the electrochemical anodic oxidation of pure titanium sheets in electrolytes, mixtures of ethylene glycol (EG), ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and deionized water, that contain with different of silver ions. Heat treatment of electrolytes was carried out at 100 °C during preparation process. The morphology and structure of prepared nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The structures of TiO2 nanotubes obtained from heat treatment and non-heat treatment of electrolyte solutions and adding silver ions in electrolyte solution are similar. The nanotubes appear in arrays and the diameters of nanotubes were about 92 nm for non-heat treatment electrolyte solution and undoped TiO2 and about 102 nm for heat treatment electrolyte solution and all Ag-doped TiO2 nanotube arrays. When the concentration of silver nitrate (AgNO3) increases, the TiO2 nanotube arrays cracked and are not well arranged.

A novel bimetallic 4f-3d metal-isonicotinic acid inorganic-organic hybrid complex [{Eu(NC5H4COOH)3(H2O)2}(1.5ZnCl4)?(2H2O)]n (1) was synthesized via a hydrothermal reaction and structurally characterized by single- crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the space group C2/c of the monoclinic system with eight formula units in a cell: a = 23.878(8) ?, b = 20.573(6) ?, c = 15.358(5) ?, ? = 127.276(5)?, V = 6003(3) ?3, C18H23Cl6EuN3O10Zn1.5, Mr = 904.11 g/mol, ? = 2.001 g/cm3, S = 1.077, ?(MoK?) = 3.846 mm-1, F(000) = 3536, R = 0.0270 and wR = 0.0672. Complex 1 has a characteristic, one-dimensional polycationic chain-like structure. A photoluminescent investigation revealed that the title complex displays intense emissions in the orange and red regions. The luminescence spectra show that the red emission is stronger than the orange emission. Optical absorption spectra of 1 revealed the presence of an optical gap of 3.56 eV.

In the present paper we study the effect of complexation in linear negatively charged polyelectrolytes with different alkali ions. With combination of IR-spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanocalorimetry, we attempted to explain unusual solubility, crystallinity and thermal stability of these polymers. The increase of thermal stability and insolubility in water in series of semi-crystalline polysalts as K+ ≤ H+ <Na+ was explained by effectiveness of formation of chelating complex. Insoluble in water sodium salt shows the highest thermal stability of crystal phase up to . In contrast, well soluble in water amorphous lithium salt does not self-organize in chelating complex and is presented in ionic form.

The crystal structure of the 1 : 1 adduct of N-methylaniline with 5-nitrofuran-2-carboxylic acid has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c with Z 4 in a cell of dimensions a 8·467(5), b 6·106(2), c 23·95(1) Å, β 94·48(3)°. The molecules associate in a tetrameric, proton-transfer formation which has potential as a new supramolecular synthon.

Silver(I) anthranilate, [Ag2(C7H6NO2)2]n, was isolated as the major constituent in the attempted preparation of the adduct of anthranilic acid (2-aminobenzoic acid) with silver(I) p-toluenesulfonate and its structure has been determined by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystals of the complex are monoclinic, space group P 21/n, with two dimers in a cell of dimensions a 5·3516(8), b 4·9746(2), c 25·386(5) Å, β 91· 547(8)°. The complex repeating unit comprises a distorted centrosymmetric biscarboxylato(-O,O′)-bridged dimer [Ag−O, 2·223, 2·409(4) Å; Ag---Ag 2·9128(9) Å] but has, in addition, a third bond to an adjacent amine nitrogen [Ag−N, 2·301(5) Å], which extends the structure into a zigzag chain polymer. The stereochemistry about each Ag centre is distorted trigonal planar [angle range, 89·9−142·9(2)°]. Relatively short inter-dimer Ag---Ag separations [2·989(1) Å] are also present.

The crystal and molecular structure of LCO2 [S2P(OEt)2]2 (where L is a binucleating ligand derived from the macrocycle LH2 formed by condensation of two molecules each of propane-1,3-diamine and 2-hydroxy-5-methylisophthalaldehyde) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques at 295 K. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group Pī with two molecules in a cell of dimensions a 18.644(6), b 11.694(4), c 9.487(4) �, α 84.99(3), β 82.61(3), γ 73.48(2)�. Automatic diffractometry has provided significant Bragg intensities for 2799 independent reflections and the structure has been refined by least-squares methods to R 0.054. The structure is molecular, consisting of discrete binuclear units LCo2[S2P(OEt)2]2. The two centrosymmetric molecules in the unit cell are crystallographically unique but essentially chemically similar. The two cobalt(11) atoms in each molecule are separated by 3.075(2) and 3.072(2) �. Each cobalt atom is in an octahedral environment, with an N2O2 equatorial plane and two sulfur atoms of bridging dithiophosphate ligands in the axial positions. The Co-S bonds are the longest yet observed [2,680(3), 2.652(3), 2.642(3), 2.623(3) �]. The cobalt(11) centres are high spin, with �eff 4.53 BM per cobalt atom. The macrocyclic ligand deviates slightly from planarity. The forces exerted both by the ligand L on associated metal atoms, and by axial ligands on the macrocycle, are discussed.
